Intelectuais e epistemologia crítica latino-americana by Miglievich-Ribeiro, Adelia

“…Recalls the tradition of anti-colonial nineteenth-century thought on the continent to see it highlighted the intellectual efforts of Darcy that anticipates the displacement of hegemonic forms of knowledge in his critique of eurocentrism to assert Latin America as an important locus of enunciation, this displacement that characterizes the efforts of the theoretical movement ‘modernity-coloniality’ of which one of the most significant representatives is Walter Mignolo. The results confirm the power contained in the ‘liminar gnosis’ or subaltern perspective that opens new horizons of analysis and action in a post-colonial world that put into question the metanarrative of modernity, responsible for the violence of the old and new colonialism. …”

Fisonomía de la metafísica decolonial: lo damné , una identidad sin narración by Javier Franzé

“…El presente artículo busca mostrar el esencialismo de la reflexión de Walter Mignolo en La idea de América Latina . Tal esencialismo no consiste en considerar a las comunidades subalternas puras o incontaminadas, ni a todos sus miembros (los damnés ) dotados de unos rasgos fijos y a históricos, sino en concebir la existencia de la memoria y la experiencia propias de lo damné , cuyos portadores sólo pueden surgir de entre los miembros de esas comunidades. esta forma de esencialismo es consecuencia del propósito de edificar una teoría capaz de alcanzar a la vez y con igual eficacia objetivos epistemológicos y políticos, y pone en discusión la relación entre identidad y narración.…”

Performing the Bounds of Responsibility by Karen Berger

Epistemology and Domination: Problems with the Coloniality of Knowledge Thesis in Latin American Decolonial Theory by Paul Anthony Chambers

“…I argue that the epistemological claims of four decolonial thinkers (Aníbal Quijano, Walter Mignolo, Enrique Dussel, Santiago Castro-Gómez) that make up the coloniality of knowledge thesis are problematic for several reasons: they are based on distorted and simplistic readings of Descartes, Hume and other Enlightenment figures; they make contentious generalizations about so-called Western epistemology; and they ultimately lead to epistemic relativism, which is a problematic basis for the social sciences and, contrary to decolonial aspirations, renders the subaltern unable to speak.…”
